On the popular Italian Mediterranean island of Capri, tourists must be better protected against pushy business practices. Mayor Paolo Falco has now issued a corresponding regulation.
Accordingly, it is now forbidden to approach tourists and tourists “by showing menu, brochures, leaflets, cards and any type of advertising material”. “We cannot sell all hotels to Arabs such as in Monte-Carlo or St. Vincent and leave the field to them. Or the island close after the summer,” Falco said. He appealed to hotel and restaurant owners to take more responsibility for the protection of the island.
Everyone who violates the regulation must expect an excellent way. In certain cases, the license can be temporarily withdrawn. “It’s time to say: enough is enough,” the Italian Consumer Protection Association agreed with the mayor. In recent years, attempts to benefit from tourists have increased considerably. Moreover, Capris identity and the beauty of the island should be better protected.
Tens of thousands of visitors to the mainland per day
Fewer than 15,000 people live permanently on the island in the Gulf of Naples. In the high season, however, a few tens of thousands of visitors from the mainland to Capri come every day. Immediately after arrival you will often be printed in the restaurant or on a trip with so -called cheap offers, for example for a tour with a boat around the island.
